6 couplers on one frame?? That's like $3000 in couplers alone....how small must it pack up?!

Rod Bikes are nuts. But how many people really take them apart that often.
It's also crazy that these bikes essentially only exist because of the high tariff for taking bicycles on US planes. Such that the only sensible thing to do if you cycle within the US and fly around (which you would, because trains their suck) is that you want your bike to fit in a standard carry-on piece of luggage.
No-one needs a Rods Bike. Thankfully we're in Europe, and I own an S&S coupled bike and wouldn't do it again. Within Europe just get a standard bike box and ship the bike around or hire a bike at the other end.
S&S Couplers only really make sense for intra-US travel. And Rods Bikes only make sense if you live in the USA and only want to cycle elsewhere in the USA.
